Recently, many most liked Facebook pages suffered large drops in numbers. The move follows the social network’s admission that 8.7% of its users are not “real”, many having been set up by spammers who artificially making those pages more popular.

Using Facebook as a media to advertise is free but may not be influential.Some companies just put delicate photos on their Facebook pages and let Facebook users comment on each photo, so that they can get some feedback about their products. However, beautiful graphs and comments are not convincing enough to drive users to buy products.

There is another problem: how can companies let users find their pages? The answer is producing fake “likes”.Facebook will show the latest photos and posts of the pages that users like, so that more information about their products and services can be acquired by users. But sometimes the “like” button is automatically clicked by spammers, which means even if you didn’t click the “like” button, the Facebook system will regard you as a liker of certain pages.

However, if the users themselves are not interested in the page which automatically appears  in their news feed page, those Facebook users will get bored and annoyed gradually, which easily produces negative feelings about the company and their disturbing advertisements.

In this case, the free advertisement in Facebook is not only useless but also harmful to a certain extent.

“I will say that iPhones in general are good smartphones but not great. They are excellent entry level to mid range smartphones. But in the end it does not matter what I say because as long as their is an Apple logo on it, people will mindlessly buy it.”-Athanasios Zarkadas

I am an Iphone user and I do acknowledge some of the strengths of Iphone. However, facing the high expenditure brought by Iphone, should we step back and rethink the value of Iphone?

When consumers choose monthly plan, most of people will choose the most economical one, as long as the mobile company supporst the cell phone we already have.

For example, Wind Mobile provide $25 per month with everything unlimited. However, this economical monthly plan is not supportive for Iphone. Thus, Iphone user can’t benefit from the cheap plan provided by Wind mobile. Iphone users can choose Fido $25 monthly plan, but only get 150mins talk during day time and unlimited text within Canada.

Regardless of the high price of Iphone, if we only compare the high phone bill of Iphone, Iphone users can feel the pressure already. The one of the reasons why Iphone users can’t have cheap phone bill is that the network of Iphone is different from many mobile companies who provide cheaper monthly plan.

“We do not have the iPhone. Apple’s current iPhone is not compatible with the WIND network (AWS/1700 Megahertz/BandIV). When we hear an AWS iPhone is in the works, believe us, we’ll be knocking Apple’s door to get the scoop!” said a staff of Wind Mobile.

Wind Mobile as well as other cheaper mobile company such as Mobilicity, can provide services for HTC and Samsung users, but not Iphone users. They look forward to corporate with Iphone but because of the different networks, iphone users need to wait for a long time before they can reduce their phone bill.

Next time when we choose our new cell phones will you still be a Iphone user or you will support HTC or Samsung products where you can also get good smartphone but with cheaper price in all aspects.

What makes you choose to be a Iphone user? Their superior products and brilliant apps…

What makes you choose not to be a iphone user? The large amount of money and mid level services…

b. Stakeholder theory focuses on how to make the interests of customers, suppliers, employees, shareholders and financiers go into the same direction.

c. It is the arts of NOT making those tradeoffs, trying to make interests go in the same direction. If you look for tradeoffs, you certainly will find some of them. If you look for how those interests go into the same direction, you MAY NOT find it. BUT, I am pretty sure, you won’t find it, of you don’t look!!!

d. Stake holders turn out to be not just products, not accounts, not assets, not liabilities. They turn out to be living and breathing human beings. They are not just some roles; they are actual people!

e. You don’t just provide products and services, because your things come with your promises.
